Re: New main battery connectors allowed

It's unclear enough (given the use of the plural) that the Q&A can fill us in. I'd lean towards permitting it, since there are no new hazards caused or major advantages conferred.

(Thought experiment: if we assume that in the absence of a written quantity, the quantity depicted in R25's figure is mandatory, does that imply that we would have to prohibit a team from doubling up the wire running from the 120 A circuit breaker to the power distribution panel? What purpose would that serve, particularly since teams can use wire of arbitrarily large gauge? Alternatively, what if a team doubled up the SB connectors in parallel? Would that be permissible?)
